Steps We Take To Clean & Protect Your Rugs

Extensive, Thorough Inspection and Documentation: The inspection will reveal whether a rug is machine woven or handmade, what its likely country of origin is, and its fiber contents. These factors are important for a determination of the rug's suitability for washing.

Visible pre-existing conditions such as tea-wash, old spotting attempts, tears, sun-fade, residue from past cleanings, unraveling, excessive soiling, stain, and other damage will be noted and discussed with the client prior to cleaning.

Dye Testing: Bleeding of dyes during washing is an occasional occurrence and is caused many factors. It is not possible these days to look at a rug and determine by inspection alone that the dyes will not bleed. This is why we test every rug before cleaning. If we determine that your rug's dyes are likely to migrate, we will discuss alternative cleaning methods with you.

Dusting: Particulate matter is removed from the rug by a process called "dusting" prior to washing. Careful dusting is a crucial step in the cleaning of your rugs. We explain how dusting is done on our Rug Care Tips page.

Washing: Rugs are next washed with flowing water and given a gentle bath. This bath thoroughly cleanses, refreshes and brightens the rug. The soap is a neutral balanced solution that has been customized for your rug based on our testing of its color and fibers.
The rug will also be conditioned in appropriate cases.

Drying: Water is removed as much as possible from rugs with a squeegee. The rugs are then hung to be dried naturally. In some cases, we may determine that it is safer to dry the rug flat.

As a result of our careful attention to this exacting rug cleaning process, all of our clients for whom we've washed rugs are delighted with our work. Feel free to read a sampling of our customer reviews.
